10.Richards: Injuries, poor form at start of season. Listened to Viera and trained better and harder which showed in his play.
9.Zabaletta: Too many silly free kicks in dangerous place in 1st half of season. True warrior and future legend.
8.Lescott: Lacked confidence but came good after Kolo Toure's ban.
7.Barry: Influential and consistent but too slow against the quicker players.
6.Yaya Toure: Big game player, lacking in the meat and drink games.
5.Tevez: Dispute with club and injuries left him out of form, our most influential player in 1st half of season.
4. De Jong: Missed him when he wasn't playing. Best in the premiership at winning the ball. Only showed one style of play- Terrier!
3. Silva: Started off steady and showed opposition he wouldn't be pushed off the ball.Was given too rigid a role early on, took up the mantle and blossomed when given a more free role when Tevez was out. When he started to play his best the team started to gel.
2. Hart: Not quite the finished article yet, dodgy on low shots to his right and distribution. Spurs in 1st game set a precedent though and he maintained a high standard throughout. Clean sheets record puts him 2nd. Mad as a box of frogs!
1. Kompany: Oozed class all season. When you sometimes don't see a defender all game that's because he's read everything so well and not made any mistakes. Mr consistency and a true leader on the field.
